***Note: While there are many required readings for each module of this course, you are not expected to read them all in depth. Instead, review the texts actively, skim when needed, and read with the purpose of understanding and applying key concepts. The American Psychological Association article Sink or Skim provides some helpful strategies for reading in graduate school. This can be applied to all courses within the program to aid you in time management and successful study habits.
